Christy came over after church and also enjoyed some bonus time with Misty. Misty is a Native Alaskan and Christy taught for many years in Inchelium on the Colville Reservation and she shared some of her experiences with Misty and showed her pictures of Native community related projects her students worked on. Misty also told Christy about her social justice work with the non-profit organization, Native Movement (nativemovement.org). Misty is on Native Movement's Administrative Team, serving as the Creative Space Lead.
2. Patrick and Meagan, as scheduled, drove back home to Portland early this afternoon and also drove Misty back to the airport -- where everything worked out pretty well. Yes, her flight was delayed a bit, but she made it to Seattle in time to catch her connecting flight back to Fairbanks.
Before leaving, Patrick finished a project for us that he started Saturday evening.
The screws securing the gate we have up that keeps Gibbs from chasing Copper came out of the wall and Patrick moved the screws to the wooden trim where we are confident the screws won't come loose.
It's a great help having this gate fully operational again -- in his own way, Copper especially appreciates it.
3. We had Cornish game hen pieces and wild rice dressing left over from Thanksgiving dinner and Debbie combined them into a wildly delicious dinner dish. Christy's dressing aged really well over the weekend and the chicken remained tender, moist, and flavorful. It was fun tonight to feel like Thanksgiving had, indeed, extended all the way from Thursday to Sunday.
